set of busy workers they are. Mr..
Post has demonstrated his ability to
have charge of large class by the cred
liable display of pictures at his annual
exhibitions of pupils work. There be-
ing ninety-seven well-eXecuted pieces
at the last exhibition. Mr.. Post is a
thorough artist, having while abroad
had access to every avenue opened to
an art student. At Rome he studied at
st. Luke'S academy and drew from the
antique, and in the French academy he
studied drawing from life, while i'll
Rome he enjoyed the criticisms of For
tuny just before his death. At
Munich he entered the Royal
Academy" where he had the
advantage of such associates as DamOt,
Frederic Dehlman, Duverne. Chase and
Walter Shirlan. At Florence he studied
in the Pitt palace and the UfiZZe. Here
he devoted considerable of his time
to etching, copying from Rembrandt,
Van Dyke and Salvador Rosa. While
studying copper plate etching in Flor
ence Mr.. Post invented style of etch-
ing on glass and he promises soon some
" n
will doubtless be appreciated, as he has
received flattering comment from his
and instructors.
He returned to America with a thor
ough knowledge of art in general, and
his skill in initiating, originating and
composing is Such,aS can be obtained
only by careful and persistent practice,
accompanied with decided talent. An
ideal head just finished by him is at
tracing a great deal of attention. A
momentary glance at it leads you to sup
pose William Cullen Bryant the sub
ject, but it is merely the head and
shoulders of an ideal old man in storm,
his hOary locks being blown in all direc-
lions by the fierce winds. The title,
Coming Winter" is decidedly apprO-
pirate.
